- LISTSERV
-
- Many e-journals are distributed by listserv software. Subscribing to a
- listserv which distributes an e-journal means you will receive issues
- of the e-journal as they come out. Most journals distributed by list-
- servs include information on the journal's listserv e-mail address.
-
- Listservs are computer programs which maintain lists of e-mail addresses.
- When you join a listserv, your e-mail address is added to the list. When
- a listserv subscriber sends a message to the list, that message is re-
- distributed to all other list subscribers. E-journals distributed in this
- manner are simply e-mail messages.
-
- Subscribe to a listserv by sending a single line message to the listserv
- address in the form of:
-
- SUBSCRIBE LISTNAME your_name
-
- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-
- Example: To subscribe to the LIST REVIEW SERVICE <jnl.032> send a single
- line message to: LISTSERV@UMSLVMA.UMSL.EDU consisting of:
-
- SUBSCRIBE LSTREV-L Raleigh Muns
